Huh? Thought things like this to be a Windows-only problem. And this is
how I solve it there (for example: update the config file for a service
which locks that config file while running):

file {'config_file_tmp':
  ...
}
->
exec {'kill_service':
  ...
}
->
file {'config_file':
  source => 'config_file_tmp',
  ...
}
->
service {'the_service':
  ensure => running,
  ...
}

Guess you could do something similar in your case.

HTH...
